I'm pleased to corroborate Baris. The new beta patch (1.08Q) has fixed all the mouse problems on my hardware, and others are reporting similar success on the AGEOD web page. I can finally run the game without mouse problems. And it looks great.

If you've reluctantly shelved this game because of the previous mouse problems, as I did, it's time to give it another look. It's a pleasure to play through it without interface difficulty.

The beta patch 1.08Q also has a demo version, so you can try the new patch via the demo without risk. I would highly recommend this path for anyone who hasn't tried this unique game yet.

Please note that this is still a public beta patch, and all normal caveats for public beta software apply. But the patch has undergone several iterations in the past few days, and I believe the developer expects to make it official quite soon. See the AGEOD webpage for up to date information. I've run the latest Q version (from this morning) without difficulty so far. It looks like it's close to completion.

The subtlety, depth and possibilities inherent in the WW1G campaigns are really amazing and those who binned the game early or passed on to the new and shiny are missing out on a real strategic masterpiece. Nobody can ever accuse game play of being particularly easy but I have learned to enjoy it for what it is and tolerate whatever faults and quirks that may still exist.

Besides, writing JSGME ready mods is fairly easy so one can tweak it pretty much to taste.

Well said..I will always stand by opinion that WW1 Gold is the only WW1 game worth owning..it has everything and it all feels right. Infact it's my all time Grand Strat game of any era.
